What can I do to minimise the appearance of brown patches?
Advertisement document.write(”); The best thing you can do to minimise their appearance is to stay out of the sun so that these areas don’t darken even more. If you can’t avoid the sun, wear a hat, cover up, and use sunscreen. If the Pill is a cause of the discolouration, talk to your GP about switching to another form of contraception. Using a low-dosage Pill won’t necessarily take care of the problem. If the patches don’t lighten as much as you would like them to within a year, ask your GP if you can be referred to a dermatologist. He may recommend a topical bleaching cream.
